03History
Printed in the 1930s alongside the Bronx and Manhattan family — New York was naming drinks after itself the way the city was then configured.
Like the Algonquin, the pineapple does what vermouth sugar can't: it sweetens with acid, keeping the drink bright.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
